Wrapping up 2020 and looking forward to 2021
As 2020 comes to a close, there’s several things ongoing around KDE Itinerary which a year ago I would have considered out of reach, or simply didn’t have on the radar yet at all.

Blog housekeeping and stuff
I had planned to write different blog post but this housekeeping took most of the time for me, so I will finish post tomorrow.
On separate topic, I realize my blog has been dormant for a year now. Last blog post I made was Plasma Mobile as a daily driver about when I was stuck in Europe with no working phones except PinePhone. While this blog was mostly dormant, I had been writing various posts and contributing to posts on Plasma Mobile blog.
